DK Conquest Construction Inc.

Thank you DK for everything! Our family appreciates it!

I have no hesitation in recommending DK Conquest to do any work that is needed. They are very professional, do a wonderful job, stay within budget and are truly anxious to please. All staff from estimator, office staff, construction workers and management are wonderful. If a problem came up it was dealt with efficiently and I know they will stand behind their work. DK was recommended to me by a friend and I'm so glad he did. I wish I had found this company years ago.

Thanks DK Conquest for our beautiful new kitchen! We are so happy!

Working with Dennis is amazing! Seeing first hand the professionalism and extraordinary customer service that they provide daily is something to be proud of! Great job team!!!

Got my bathroom renovated by DK Conquest and am really happy with the outcome. They were fast and professional. The only regret I have is not spending the extra money for the heated floors.

DK Conquest did a great job adding a second story addition to my house. It was really helpful to have their staff around to guide me through all the important decisions that came up. They did have a couple trades they had to fire during the reno though but they handled it quickly so it didn’t impact the job progress too much and I got exactly what I wanted in the end. Thanks for the hard work guys!

We had a few quotes from other contractors for our basement. Then we met Dennis from DK Conquest Construction who helped us realize they were the company for us. The team was very professional with our drywalling, painting, etc. They organized and communicated well with us with all the trades that worked on our basement. Dennis is a true gem in the professional world which is hard to find these days as they take pride in their work. We will definitely recommend DK Conquest Construction and all his crew to others. We look forward to working with Dennis and his team for future projects in our home.

Thanks to DK Conquest team for giving my family and I a good home. You have been great to work with. Happy new year!

I got a good feeling for this company from Dennis's first visit to my place for me to outline what I wanted. He listened well, agreed with a lot of what I said and made some useful suggestions. The job was kept within my stated budget and went just a little beyond the proposed time frame. Amanda kept me apprised throughout the project and I had no qualms leaving my place in their hands for a week when I left town to escape the construction in my one-bedroom condo. I am very pleased with the final result. The new bathroom and especially the new flooring have transformed my place.

Very professional and good communication. There were a few hiccups but everything was resolved to our liking. The team is great and Amanda is really amazing at keeping us informed on what's happening next and working with us to get everything we liked. We would recommend them overall. They got the job done to the end and were always in communication with us which we appreciated. Thank you for our awesome basement!

Dennis is reliable, trustworthy, and determined. He's Mr. Fix It. There were several problems with the project (too numerous to list), but Dennis stuck with us. In fact, we're still going through issues with the city and even though Dennis has received his money, he's continuing to help us sort out the issues. He didn't just take the money and run. He continues to support us.

The guys at DK conquest just remodeled my kitchen and I love it! Everything was exactly as discussed, they stayed within my budget and it was finished earlier than I expected. I highly recommend them and will use them again for any future home reno’s.

DK Conquest just completed my kitchen renovation and I am very pleased with the result! Cooking is so much more fun now in my new space (I love hosting dinner parties now haha)! I was so worried leading up to the renovation because I wasn’t quite sure what to expect but the team took the time to explain the process to me and kept me up to date regularly. Will definitely hire again.

I would rate this company as extremely poor a zero would be too good. Dennis the owner was great but the office staff did not communicate properly. The material I chose for my kitchen was not used at first even though I sent them emails with pics and lots of information. I had to pay extra because they did not listen to me concerning the material I wanted. They informed the cabinet guy it was my fault when I have emails showing it was their mistake. This caused 6 week delay in my kitchen being un-useable and they did not try to remedy the situation in a timely manner. Their counter top guy screwed up my island and they did not make him fix and pay for his mistake. They would agree to something in an email then not do the work.

The project ended up being 2 months delayed. There was no urgency in fixing their mistakes.

The cabinet guys, floor guys did a great job. The counter top guys did an extremely poor job on the island.

DK conquests quotes on extra work were extreme to say the least. For example to do the back splash with design they were going to charge $2000 and yet even with a small design change I got a separate quote cost $750.

I would not use this company again unless I had everything spelled out in the contract and physically see the materials being used. I would also watch as they do a tonne of change orders because they missed little things.

This was a challenging job with the detail required and intricate knowledge of the tiles and product to use to repair both balcony's to get them back to pristine new condition. Through the overall project, anytime there was a challenge, or question, Dennis arrived onsite to oversea and in many cases jump in and ensure that the finished job was done our satisfaction. He was easy to deal with, always positive, knowledgable and knew which specialists to call when there was an area needing someone with the right touch. The end result was one that we are very happy with but most of all happy with the service that Dennis provided in a positive consistent manner, with a drive to get the job done right. I would not hesitate to recommend him to others, as his communication, finished work and overall service are second to none.

I found DK Conquest Construction through a realtor, who recommended then highly from their work on her own home. I had a great experience with DK and crew throughout my basement suite renovation. They handled all aspects of the project including new kitchen and bathroom, and they were always friendly, knowledgeable and professional. They transformed the outdated, dingy space into a bright and welcoming one--and stayed within budget except for a minor change order due to some outdated plumbing from before I purchased my home. I truly appreciate their work!

Dennis of DK conquest responded to a project request via Trusted Pros. DK Conquest was the ONLY contractor to respond. I have just gone through the renovation from hell and everything the previous contractor did has to be removed again so I needed someone reliable to re do everything. Dennis completely understood what all of the issues were and made valuable comments, as well he pointed out a couple of additional issues I hadn't noticed, he even offered to advise my son if he was going to do the work for me; not many people are willing to do that. I have received a very detailed estimate from DK Conquest explaining each and every step they will take to get this room functioning. Thank you Dennis, I would recommend you. Even though DK won’t be doing the work and only because this cosmetic only bathroom upgrade is already over what I can afford I truly believe DK would do a good job based on everything he said while looking at the job.

DK Construction, and Amanda specifically, was great to work with. They were very understanding of our budget constraints and schedule. The workers were detail oriented and quick, with excellent end product.

I am very pleased with the bathroom renovation, Everyone involved in the project did a great job. It was a pleasure having DK Conquest Construction do the reno, and I would definitely have them back when we decide to do the kitchen.

Great Work, Great People, Great Company.

Well, look no further!! DK Conquest was amazing. They listened to what we needed, and they provided. We are extremely pleased with the finished product. The fact that communication was constant was an important aspect to us. They were easy to work with, and we feel honest. We feel that the job was done like they'd like in their own home. For the little things that needed addressing, they were addressed and taken care of. We have other things we are looking at having done to our home in a long term plan. And we will be having DK do the work!

When our shower leaked into our playroom downstairs we knew we were in for a tough, and rather unexpected, renovation. Right from the start, DK Conquest Construction was top notch. Amanda was quick to get back to us and calmed our nerves. Faster than expected we had people in checking the situation, even the big boss DK, dropped by to make sure we were happy. Amanda was excellent about giving us updates on all aspects of the renos. Not only did they fix our shower, better than we could have expected, they made sure the ceiling in the playroom was properly fixed and painted. We were thrilled with the excellent service we received and would highly recommend DK Conquest Construction for any work needed.

We contacted DK conquest for an estimate while waiting for another contractor to call us back, it was the best decision.

The Cash Rating:

The appraisal price was fair compared to the other estimate we received. The office manager was easy to deal with. I was slow to confirm and needed to pick a new tile, the process was made as painless as possible and the estimate was upheld fairly in spite of my slow confirmation.

The bathroom rating:

Looks great. Trim, everything looks professional. There was an issue with some existing plumbing but even that was repaired at the end of the day that they committed to finishing.

To recap:

-Estimate was very close to being actual paid amount.

-Service from all involved was efficient and friendly.

-All repairs(including the unplanned one) were completed on schedule.

-The installer was friendly and professional. He also covered the carpets in all areas he passed with a disposable drop sheet.

The team worked organized and clean. The result is impressive and we are looking forward to work with them again. We got a lot of support for our construction from the management and his team. The team of DK Conquest Construction Inc. is highly skilled and we will recommend them to our contacts.

We hired DK construction to build our working ensuite in the showroom at The Ensuite, Emco. They did a superb job under a tight budget. I would definitely recommend them to customers. Amanda/Eric/Dennis are very friendly and easy to deal with.

DK Conquest Construction undertook my fairly complete condo renovation, which ended up being nearly 3 months of solid work. Dennis, the owner, and I conferred on a daily basis about what was being done, what I had to do by a certain date, like choosing materials, or if there were any glitches with incoming supplies or with his team. I think that my project went so well because I was actively involved and because Dennis is highly responsible and great at communication. No reno is complete without some kind of hitch; in my case a few broken tiles and mirrors, and a delay with the kitchen cabinets. I am pretty fussy, but thank goodness Dennis was able to rectify everything in a very timely manner. We had some issues with the quality of the paint at the end but again, that was completed to my satisfaction. The custom shelving his team built for the closets, the bathroom and the pantry are amazing! The floors were completed very quickly with excellent sound proofing. Dennis is calm and professional at all times This was my third and largest reno to date, and I am now enjoying living in a space that is perfect for me.

Thank you DK Conquest!

I have edited my original review to include more information compared to the original.

If you don't want to read the entire review, I've summarized it in 3 words. DO NOT HIRE!

Why? THEY QUIT MY RENOVATION HALF WAY THROUGH AFTER DEMOLISHING MY CONDO!!!

I hired DK conquest for a kitchen renovation (new cabinets, counter, sink, appliances, backsplash, the full deal), and to update the flooring and ceiling throughout my condo. A contract was signed between myself and DK Conquest. They started work in early January.

DK Conquest spent approximately 15 days working on my kitchen renovation throughout January. During that time, the demolition of the kitchen, flooring and ceiling was done. Once my condo had been thoroughly destroyed, DK Conquest disappeared for 2 MONTHS!!! Between January 29th and March 20th, they had workers in my condo for a total of 4 days!!! 4 days out of a total 35 WEEKdays! In those 4 days of work, 3 of them were spent installing the incorrect flooring underlay (which I had specified in the scope of work contract and with the contractor multiple times!). This actually moved my project backwards! I was constantly told they would "have people in later this week", but when I checked in daily, it was obvious no one had stepped foot in my condo (I have hundreds of progress & LACK-OF-PROGRESS pictures to document the entire timeline of my renovation).

I contacted DK Conquest multiple times throughout February and March to get to the bottom of why my renovation had come to a screeching hault after my condo was rendered unlivable. When I had enough of no progress being made, I told Dennis my renovation needs to start advancing otherwise I was going to find someone else to complete it, as well as explore legal options. The response I got was a call from Dennis telling me they would not be finishing my renovation.

THEY QUIT MY RENOVATION HALF WAY THROUGH AFTER DEMOLISHING MY CONDO!!!

In the approximately 15 days of work they did do, there were numerous screw-ups and poor attention to detail.

-Tile flooring was installed in a condo (obvious noise proofing needed) with the wrong underlay. The underlay was specified in the scope of work contract. It was also specified in emails and calls before and during the renovation.

-Kitchen counter was built at the wrong height even though I provided professional blueprints. (this was fixed after I pointed it out)

-The work crew unplugged my fridge and ruined all the food inside.

-I learned after they quit that nothing (counters, cabinets, sink, etc) was ever ordered.

-The furniture I could not relocate to a sheltered area was left uncovered and subsequently dirtied.

-Some of my furniture was placed outside onto an weather exposed open balcony. This furniture will likely need to be replaced.

-The bathroom, where no work was being done, was left open and subsequently dirtied.

-My personal towels were used to clean tools and equipment. They will need to be replaced.

-The work crew left my condo with the windows open in January and my temperature set to 30*C.

-Painting was the poorest quality I've ever seen. Dozens of places where ceiling paint was on walls, wall paint was on ceiling. I showed pictures to a painter friend from out of town and he just laughed.

-My original project manager quit half way through my project because Dennis was not allowing her to advance my project. (Dennis said she is "no longer working for DK Conquest" in his original rebuttal to my original review. Those are lies. She quit.)

-HORRENDOUS communication from the following 2 project managers. On multiple occasions I went weeks with no contact from anyone at DK.

-They left PILES of garbage in my condo and on my balcony.

-Did I mention THEY QUIT MY RENOVATION HALF WAY THROUGH AFTER DEMOLISHING MY CONDO!!!

Trust me, keep searching.

Ya my view is biased, but the results speak for themselves.

The pictures I've posted are the state of my condo after DK Conquest quit my project.

DO NOT HIRE.

We discovered water damage in an exterior wall in early December, 2016. DK Conquest was able to examine the damage, suggest a solution, provide an estimate and start work within days of us contacting them. Despite unusually bad weather, they rebuilt, insulated and boarded the wall before Christmas. Up to this point, communications by both the workers and office staff was excellent. However, the work was left unfinished with no indication of when it would restart after Christmas. After I called to inquire, work resumed in the new year and was finished well and quickly. Cleanliness inside during the work was a bit of an issue. Floors were only protected after I asked them to be and dust wasn't controlled as well as it could have been, but I take some responsibility for not making this an issue. Clean-up after the job was excellent. Overall I was very happy with the work the guys from DK did. I would definitely hire them again.

DK did a great job of our kitchen renovation. We enjoy it every day.

Dennis's company works well with the homeowner and his staff are very courteous and diligent with their work.

Buyer Beware of this Contractor,

We had an easy kitchen bath reno which Dennis said would take 5 to 7 days. It took 8 weeks and he destroyed 3 condos in the process.

His guys did a lousy job, did not want to be here just by their attitude you could tell.

Mamas kitchen screwed up the cabinets measured wrong.His worker was going to install the microwave the wrong way until I caught it before he put it in .The paint job was done so poorly we have to tear the cabinets out and do it over again with a new guy who just laughed when he saw the work he had to fix. I should also add that because his worker punched a hole in a 6 inch sprinkler main we are still fighting with insurance to get that issue resolved 10 months later.

I'll admit, I'm not a fan of general contractors. My past experience has been one of arrogance and poor communication. However, my experience with Dennis was not even remotely the same. The job was done in a timely manner and I feel I got the quality that I paid for. Things were a little over-budget, but much of that was our own fault, not that of DK. And communicating with Dennis and his crew was always prompt, courteous and professional. I would gladly hire DK Construction for another large job.

I hired DK Conquest Construction based on online reviews.

I hired them to fully gut and rebuild a bathroom in a one-bathroom condo, and was thus under stress about a timetable for the project.

They not only did it in the time I had allotted, they did an amazing job with the materials and didn't go a penny over budget. They also communicated things well during the project.

Kudos! I would use this crew again in a heartbeat and highly recommend them.

From the initial estimate to completion of the project took three days and the professionalism of the carpenters was evident. I am completely satisfied with the end result.

I had my master bathroom renovation done recently with all the materials bought by myself and order cabinet and counter top on my own and use DK conquest as removing and total installation of the bathroom was great experience. Our bathroom was installed by Eric and his team mates Jessie, Norbert and a few others who did a great job. Initial time line was 2 weeks but because of 2 or 3 project the company had at the same time we have to share the labour and also on my part that our counter top person on holliday and we went for holiday too so our project finish a week after the holiday. Other wise it could have been finished in 3 weeks. Denniis stays on budget except for the things that I ask for extra and Jhoanna coordinate the project wonderfully.

We will be using the company again when time comes to do our basement bathroom, entrance and laundry room renovation in coming years.

Thank you to DK conquest for their amazing job! I would recommend the team of DK Conquest for renovations to your home big or small. Dennis who is the owner of the company was so great. He was sincere and very helpful. Eric the carpenter was absolutely amazing, going above and beyond his duties and Derrick the electrician was also very helpful and he would make very useful recommendations. These guys were so polite and if we had any issues at all (which were very rare) Dennis would make sure that things were done exactly the way we wanted them. They would even help out with extras like putting up blinds and setting up the television. The overall experience was fantastic. Sometimes when we are looking for work to be done on our homes we tend to seek out the ones that cost less. DK conquest is the place to go for quality work at a reasonable cost. Our family felt as if Dennis was more of a friend than a contractor. He is very personable. We also had our floors done upstairs and the team moved all of our furniture for us! You will never find a team of contractors that will do that. This company is great! Highly recommended.

We hired DK to expand our laundry room and create a mud room. This involved moving a wall into the neighboring bedroom, re-framing a new wall/closet, electrical for new pot lights, tiling, and paint. Overall the project went very well. We were in constant communication with the crew and I appreciated being able to contact them via text messages throughout the day. They worked very clean and made sure construction dust did not get into the rest of the house. The project took a little longer than expected, but we are very happy with the finished result.

Conquest was very professional. They provided good estimates, scheduled work keeping our availability in mind and finished the work in budget and on time. Their work was reasonably priced. They had excellent communication. I would hire them again if needed and recommend them. Both Dennis and Jhoanna were very professional and courteous.

Bathroom was in disrepair with toilet not working, tiles falling off, cracked floor, etc. We had a family of four coming to visit us for 3 weeks and desperately needed to get this done. Due to procrastination on my part, we were tight on time. DK Conquest finished the job two days ahead of time including overtime at no extra charge. Workmanship was excellent, workers were friendly and careful not to do any damage to our unit nor the building. Initially DK gave us a list of several suppliers to enable us to choose our fixtures, plumbing, tiles etc. We will be using them to reno our second bathroom in the near future. Note: DK was not the least expensive but they were competitive and "You get what you pay for".

Dennis and his team worked hard at completing my project in a timely manner. Thanks

I hired DK Conquest Construction because I read the reviews and one person's comment caught me: "Dennis will not rip you off." Based on that comment alone, I made up my mind to work with Dennis. It looked like a simple bathroom reno, but I feel this job was one of those Murphy's Law renos from hell for Dennis. But even so, Dennis remained professional and always polite. He just failed to warn me about the counter top coming with a protective wax coating, and I accused him of not getting the one we had chosen. So don't panic folks -- Dennis knows just how to peel off the protective coating and make the job right! I have posted before and after pics that speak to the great job Dennis (and his workers) did. As far as my 3 star "Failed to stay on Budget" rating, that was only because I was stuck on a certain budget, and fortunately I listened to Dennis talk me into changing out the bathroom sink AND putting in a new ceiling AND recessed LED lighting AND shower doors AND the quartz countertop AND new cabinet. Sorry to penalize you Dennis for talking me into all those very necessary changes that made this bathroom "zing". Very happy with the outcome and your patient nature.

We are very pleased with the outcome of the renovations. The end result was an enormous improvement to our kitchen and bathroom.

Dennis and his crew were professional and helpful. The budget was on time and on budget.

Initially we were rather apprehensive. With all the horror studies around about uncompleted and sloppy jobs, we were worried.

However, after an initial meeting we were convinced that Dennis would be the right person to help us.

Dennis was with us from the beginning right to the end. He was able to point us to the right appliance warehouse, the counter top place, the tile outlet and the bathroom fixture shop.

We will no doubt go back to Dennis for all our future renovation needs and will not hesitate in recommending him to our friends and neighbours.

Dennis was amazing to work with on our bathroom renovation. His crew took out the old floor and tub and tiles and built a surround shower that is amazingly beautiful. Dennis was around often to make certain everything was just so. Very pleased. I highly recommend DK Conquest Construction for your project.

Dennis & his crew arrived on time, did great work, & tidied up on leaving our home. It was a pleasure dealing with all of them.

Dennis and his crew did a great job on our bathroom reno project. Dennis and his crew are accessible and reliable. They are also dedicated to quality. Any concerns were fixed quickly. (Dennis is a good guy -- he won't screw you over). We are very happy with the work and would definitely use DK Conquest for future reno projects.

Dennis and his crew did a great job on our 2 bathroom ceilings. The communication was proactive and helpful, the work was done well and cleaned up after each session.

They where very professional and quick with a value on my budget. When it came to a few things i requested they did not hesitate on completing them. i would highly recommend DK Conquest construction to anyone who is looking to get great value for the work they do and for a great price.

We contracted with DK Conquest to renovate our bathroom. This included new toilet, tub and vanity/sink along with tile floor and tiled tub surround. Also built in ceiling speakers.

We were very impressed with Dennis. He communicates in a timely and clear manner and is very pleasant to deal with. At all times we felt confident that he was in control of the project.

We are very happy with the workmanship. All of DK's tradespeople - the tiler, electrician, carpenters, etc. did a good job, in addition to providing helpful advice - for example, pointing out that the ceilings could easily be raised. In addition, they kept the worksite and the access points through the house clean.

We have no hesitation recommending DK or to hiring them again.

This was an unusual job and there were some issues with the initial install. The mailboxes for the 100 suites in our building had already been bolted onto the concrete wall and DK C C had to work around this obstacle.

When I informed Dennis about the concerns there were no defences or excuses brought up at all. He quickly arranged a date to come back and deal with the issues and once all was said and done we ended up with a very impressive result!

I would not hesitate to recommend DK Conquest Construction for any projects that you might have around your home or office.

Dennis the owner is a true professional in his trade. He is polite, knowledgeable, and a perfectionist.

His trades are all certified and polite. They did a great job and met all the time constraints, and they site was always cleaned everyday and left organized.

They finished the job on time, and their price was very well priced for the job. I would definitely recommend and use DK Construction for any of my construction work.

I am 100% satisfied with the work performed by DK Conquest Construction and would recommend them highly. Mr. Dennis Katatumba was very professional and understood my needs complete. The work was done in record time and the work was done expertly. I look forward to working with this company again!

I am aware that they are doing work in another suite in our building and have heard positive comments, particularly on their cleanliness while tackling big jobs!

Dennis K From DK Conquest Construction~

Thank you for the extremely impressive work that you & your crew did on our house!!

Not only did Dennis complete our reno's in a timely fashion, but he exceeded our expectations, & even inspired some new & modern techniques & ideas!!!!

Thanks again for your all your hard work & dedication to our home! Our guests were very impressed, cozy & content for their summer get away in beautiful Vancouver!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND DK CONQUEST for anything for anything from Small bathroom reno's to entire transformations!!

Monique & Adam :)

Dennis (DK Conquest) was timely & helpful. I would recommend them. Dennis was a kind and courteous person to deal with as well, which is not always the case with Contractors / Trades.

Also, the price range of the job, he stayed within, which is rare and appreciated.

Had a total makeover done, service was excelent. I would like to comment on the detail that was taken in doing the job.we didn't really know very much about what needed to be done. The contractor was so patient with us and handled all the responsibility for what we were missing as well pointed out many ways in which we could have what we wanted and save money too. I would strongly recommend this company (Dennis) for all your home improvement needs.

Very poor job we had to fire him. It took him 2 weeks to install the tiles and were never properly install. Do not recommend.

Dennis is a great person to work with. Very patient, polite and listen to the client's needs. Really love the floor the crew did.

Dennis did a really good job on my bathroom reno in December. The quality and price was great and he communicated with me well to ensure that I understood the work that was needed. I was impressed with how quickly he finished the job and cleaned up afterwards. I have recommended Dennis to all my friends and family. 

Thank you DK Conquest Construction for the fantastic work you did on my basement last summer! You made everything so easy for me and did your best to keep the cost within budget. I will definitely use you again!

Great job, everything looks good. Dennis is a nice guy, easy to deal with. I'll use them again.

I am very pleased with the plumbing work DK Conquest Construction recently did in two separate areas of my home, replacing tub and sink fixtures in the master bath, and installing a first dishwasher in an older home. These projects also entailed some electrical work. Dennis is helpful, patient and pleasant to deal with. He assisted me throughout the process, finding tub and sink faucets and a dishwasher that were affordable, attractive, and fit my unique needs. As I unfortunately am disabled this personal touch was invaluable. Dennis is very knowledgeable and resolved any complications quickly. He also worked well with my budget and time constraints. I would definitely recommend DK Conquest Construction for plumbing work based on my first hand experience, and won't hesitate to engage him for future projects.

DK Conquest construction was ready and available when contacted. They were prompt quick and professional about their work. They cleaned up after themselves and billed promptly. Their character was good and their communication effective.

any discrepancies between us, they solved very well. a disagreement as to what colour of tile was chosen for the floor . A resolution was reached immeadiately and the floor was changed

Dennis did a good job of our bathroom. He was clean and courteous to my parents who were staying in our unit. He respected the rules of our condo and got the job done on time.
